They are adults doing a job and I am not in charge of them. However
if I was training them or in charge of them I WOULD poke them if
they were messing about.

And I have been arrested for asaulting a police officer (but not
charged).

You do not seem to be a fit person to be in charge of anyone.
Perhaps if you improved your communication skills and toned down your
language a bit you wouldn't find a need to resort to violence.


There is work to be done and it wants doing properly. If they are going to
mess around, cut corners and lie instead of doing the work they will get
shouted and sworn at. I do not have the option of refusing to work with them
again if they **** up on a second occasion. I have to get them into shape
and they do not listen to reason so shouting and swearing has to be used.
It's a tough world out there and they need to get real about it.
